Guide Review - Fun With My 5 Senses

Fun With My 5 Senses is jam-packed with activities to build learning readiness. No fancy tools are needed for this book, kids come fully equipped to squint, sniff, pat, cup their ears, and tempt the taste buds! The activities and experiences will awaken them to the wonder of their five senses. They will create a storybook stew, go on a sniffing house tour, take a wide-eyed nature walk, play find that painting, and learn how to communicate without speaking. The "More Fun!" sections give kids more activities to explore. The "Expand Your World" sections provide interesting tidbits relating to the activities. Fun With My 5 Senses is a great hands-on method to learn about the five senses. It would also be perfect for homeschool coop classes!
